A neighborhood Nook.
Day and Night.
Specialty Coffee
Grab & Go Market
We look forward to welcoming you to our tiny cafe. Come enjoy our in-house specialty coffee, made from beans supplied by Methodical coffee in Greenville. Come for an espresso, cortado, macchiato, tea, matcha, or whatever your drink is. We also offer an assortment of usual and unusual homemade pastries made by our local pastry chef.
For those on the go - we gladly offer a full take-away service, as well as an assortment of Grab and Go items from our fridge, with an emphasis on healthy daily provisions.
Wine & Charcuterie
Dessert
In the evening, we transform our space into an intimate and inviting wine, charcuterie, and dessert bar - for your before-dinners, after-dinners, still-hungrys, dates, not-dates, work soirees, or to add some spice to your weeknight.
We invite you to come try our assortments of wine, cheese, tartines, spreads, small plates, pickles, and specials - all curated by Head Chef, Owen Bernstein - owner and founder of Cramer's Kitchen in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
We’re Nook, the Tiny Cafe & Market at 267 Rutledge. Our space is designed for connection— for anyone looking to meet a friend - or make one. As a neighborhood cafe, we aim to create an inviting atmosphere and offer everyday delights for the Cannonborough, Elliotborough, and surrounding Charleston community.
OUR MISSION
To Make Someone’s Day Better
We aim to make Nook a neighborhood destination where locals stop in regularly - a small curated cafe/market with a strong in-house focus on specialty coffee by day, and a relaxed wine and charcuterie bar by evening. Dessert as well. Nook is a versatile, welcoming space that grows with and for the community.
About Us
Community and Hospitality
At Nook, we come together with a shared passion for community and hospitality. Our team blends backgrounds in technology, business, and the culinary arts to create a cafe that is as thoughtful behind the scenes as it is at the table. We believe that good coffee, good wine, and good conversation have the power to connect people - and make someone’s day better.
Our vision for Nook is rooted in humility. We’ve learned from leading fitness clubs, cafés, and restaurants that the most memorable experiences come from more than just what’s on the plate or in the cup—it’s the culture, consistency, and care from the team behind the bar - and the constant goal of improving. Whether we’re sourcing locally from ice-cream artisans, refining our coffee program, learning about the techniques of our wine producers, or designing the space itself, every detail is meant to foster warmth, community, and interaction.
Inspired by our time abroad, the welcoming spirit of European cafés, and Charleston’s lively culinary scene, Nook brings together elevated experiences with a relaxed, residential feel. We want guests to feel like they’ve stepped into a friend’s home. The coffee is crafted with intention. The appetizers are soulful. The wine is approachable and excellent. The atmosphere invites you to linger.
We’re now open and ready to welcome you to our corner Nook! Follow us on Instagram or add your email below to stay in-the-know on upcoming events.
